Currently, I help supervise the Animal Ambassador Team (AAT) at SeaWorld Orlando. This is an area of the training department that many of you may not realize exists, but you’ve probably seen in action. You may have interacted with the animals at the SeaGarden, attend a school where we’ve made an educational visit, or seen animals on one of our many appearances on TV.

Yesterday morning, SeaWorld Orlando’s senior veterinarian performed surgery on a rescued sea turtle, removing a large fishing hook from its throat.

As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we wanted to share our love for animals with you. Happy Valentine’s Day from SeaWorld!

Matinicus Rock is home to an abundance of seabirds including the Common Murre which is a species I care for at SeaWorld San Antonio. Common Murres are a medium-sized, fish-eating (almost penguin-like) seabird. They are dark on the backs and head with a white belly and long pointed beak.

Today is World Ocean Day. Millions of concerned citizens from around the world are doing what they can to help the world's waterways. No matter where we live, the ocean is our life support system, providing much of the food, water and oxygen we need to survive. And while the ocean is vast, it's not without limits. Pollution, overfishing and overdevelopment are just a few of the hazards threatening the bounty that many take for granted.

How is SeaWorld lending a hand?

On Tuesday, April 26, 2011, SeaWorld Orlando’s aviculture department welcomed a tawny frogmouth chick into the family. The baby bird, which resembles a handful of cotton balls with a beak, has been cared for 24/7 by our experienced aviculturists.
